"Daddy, the book in your hand hasn't turned a page for a long time, but there are words you don't recognize?" Yan Tian's delicate voice immediately soothed the old father's frowning brows.

Yan Wenkuan unconsciously smiled on his face, raised his head and saw his daughter's cheerful eyebrows under the shadow of the lamp, and there was a little naughtiness and banter hidden in the smile of a flower. Unconsciously, most of the depression in his heart was gone.

"Dinner full?" Yan Wenkuan beckoned to his daughter, "I told Aunt Hu to heat up the milk and let Xiaozhu take it away for a while." ”

"I know, Aunt Hu told me just now. Daddy should also drink a cup of wine seriously, after all, he drank alcohol at night. I've already asked Aunt Hu to cook an extra bowl. ”

Saying that, Yan Tian stepped forward, leaned on his cheeks, and looked at his father with a smile, "Daddy, this is ...... Got something on your mind? Let me guess, could it be that the person in the room in Beijing said something unpleasant to you? Do you still listen to them? In the words of the old farmer, don't you grow crops after listening to the crickets? ”

"Vulgar!" Yan Wenkuan bent his fingers and knocked on Yan Tian's head, and the smile on his face couldn't help but become thicker again. But then he sighed again, "This time your second cousin came to find Daddy, and what he said made some sense......

"Yo?" Yan Tian was happy, "Daddy actually thinks that the person in that room makes sense this time?" Could it be that they are here to persuade their father to marry again? In that case, this time it shouldn't be the 200-pound niece of Lord Hekang? ”

"Nonsense!" Yan Wenkuan glared at Yan Tian, but he didn't have any deterrent effect, "That's your grandmother!" Also, what is this room and that room. Girl's family, talk so unruly! No wonder ......"

"No wonder after my grandmother died, the family in the capital came to find trouble with my father again?" Yan Tian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became serious.

"I can't say I'm looking for trouble......"

"But by no means did a good deed?" Yan Tian sneered and sat opposite his father, "Daddy, don't blame my daughter for not having a good impression of the capital family." In fact, since the daughter can remember, except for her grandfather who often sends people to inquire in Beijing, her grandmother's branch has indeed never had anything to do with her.

"If this is the case, we will all be fine. But they have cleared out some moths with bad intentions, which is really annoying.

"When my daughter was ten years old, my grandmother sent someone to persuade my father to marry again, under the banner of 'my daughter is old and needs to be taught'. But in fact, she wanted to force her niece who couldn't marry to her father.

"The grandmother's sister Zhuang Xiang's daughter-in-law, it sounds really thunderous and flattering. But it was a waste man who was four feet tall and weighed more than 200 pounds, and could only lie on the bed for more than 20 years because he was too fat!

"When my daughter was thirteen, my grandmother sent someone to take her daughter to Beijing to raise her. But really? actually had the intention of sending his daughter to the palace!

Thanks to my father's discernment and grandfather's kindness, these calculations were unsuccessful. But the daughter no longer believes in the people of the main family in Beijing.

"My daughter was joking just now, but she just wanted to make her father happy. But what is the matter with my second cousin coming to Los Angeles now...... Oh, my daughter naturally knows it! ”

Saying that, Yan Tian looked at his father, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his face was full of sarcasm, "My grandmother is dead, my grandfather is still here, and the people in that room don't dare to manipulate my father again." But the daughter, as a junior in Ding'an Houfu, is far away in Luozhou, but she is famous.

"It must have ruined the future of any of them and blocked someone's way out, so they sent someone to try to play prestige at us by violating the discipline of the girl. Either it's a reprimand. or borrow something to manipulate the daughter's marriage.

But the daughter could not do as they pleased! This world is big, I don't believe that women have the only way to get married in their lives!

"No matter how bad it is, there is still a Taoist temple? It's a big deal, I cut my hair and go to ...... as a sister-in-law."

"Nonsense!" Before Yan Tian finished speaking, Yan Wenkuan, who loved his daughter like his life on weekdays, immediately changed color. He stood up suddenly, shook his hands, pointed at Yan Tian, and only after a long time could he barely suppress his anger and reprimanded in a low voice, "Yan Tian! You get on my knees! ”

Yan Tian was taken aback. My father had always been loving, and he seldom spoke so harshly. knew that what he said just now really angered his father and made him angry, so he hurriedly knelt down with his skirt.

"The old father is still here, how dare he say this word of being a monk and entering the Tao? It is necessary to know that the monk cuts off the seven feelings, the six roots are pure, and the abandonment of grace enters inaction. There is a cloud in the "Sangha": "A monk is not allowed to call the names of his grandmother, brothers, or even aunts, etc., but he must be called Youposai Youpoyi." ’

"If you become a monk and enter the Tao and enter the empty door, you will abandon the kindness of your parents and become a layman. You have been raised by your father for 16 years, and before you have enjoyed your filial piety for a day, you will be cut off from your father? You ...... Little white-eyed wolf! ”

"My daughter knows her mistake." Yan Tian saw that his father was so excited, and knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly knelt down and stepped forward, "Daddy, don't be angry, do you want to hit your daughter twice?" But don't get angry. ”

Yan Tian did this, but he wiped out the eight points of anger in Yan Wenkuan's heart. He sighed and reached out to help his daughter up: "Don't talk like this nonsense in the future." As a father, I still want you to retire and die. ”

"Daddy naturally lives a long life!" Yan Tian stood up, sat down beside his father with a smile, and reached out to bring the tea bowl to him again, "Daddy, take a sip of hot tea and moisten your throat." ”

Seeing her like this, Yan Wenkuan lost his temper more and more, sighed again, and had to calm down and slowly reason with Yan Tian.

"Father asks you, what you just said about the Jingzhong family is all in your heart?" Seeing Yan Tian nodding, Yan Wenkuan shook his head and sighed, "If it weren't for your second cousin's visit today, my father wouldn't have known that you were so full of resentment!"

"If you say that you are narrow-minded, it doesn't seem entirely true that you don't have the amount of forgiveness. After all, my son is smart, and you have your own judgment in your heart on right and wrong.

It's just what the Father wants to say today, but it's not black and white. Guy can only use these to solve cases, but not to deal with family affairs.

"Since you were a child, you have been very talented in judging and judgment, but because of this, although you have a clear distinction between right and wrong, you are as evil as an enemy and are not good at accommodating. Being too obsessed with right and wrong means forgetting what the word 'home' is?

"Home is the place where you can't tell right or wrong! The ancients said: If your family has had it, you should not be angry or abandoned. It's not like you hold on to a mistake and deny your family completely. Nor can we use this to relieve anger, and the anger will not subside, so that the whole family will abandon the whole family......"

"You treat them as family, but they don't." Yan Tian couldn't help but mutter.

"You kid!" Yan Wenkuan glared, but finally continued patiently: "You lonely crutch, how will you be good in the future?" Do you think that if there is no big tree in Ding'an Houfu to protect him, why would he be an official for his father for more than ten years, and he will be promoted step by step? How can you be wanton and show off, and the county officials everywhere will give you face? ”

"My father rose through the ranks because of his ability and political excellence. I can show it freely, and it is all because of my father's loving and full protection. ”

"Idiot!" Yan Wenkuan shook his head again and again, "There are many officials with outstanding abilities and outstanding politics, but how many of them only stick to a seven-rank county order all their lives. And do you think that just with the connivance of the fourth-grade prefect of the father, those officials with rank and rank below will obey the dispatch of a yellow-haired girl from you?

"Just like this time, you secretly went to inspect the people of the counties for your father a year ago. The officials of those county governments were all worried and genuinely afraid. I'm afraid that there will be any problems within the jurisdiction of this county, and I am even more afraid that there will be any problems with your Miss Yan within their jurisdiction.

Just because you are a girl from the Hou Mansion of Ding'an. If you have half a point wrong, I can't say that your grandfather can make trouble in the Golden Palace and go straight to heaven!

"In the final analysis, all the convenience and preferential treatment enjoyed by you and my father and daughter are because they were born in the Ding'an Hou Mansion, there are people in the court, they are related to the clan, and they are close to the big tree.

"Besides, your grandmother did have some careful thoughts during her lifetime, but she never stopped her future as a father. Even when your own grandmother was alive, she ignored it at most, but she never deducted the monthly expenses she should have, and she never treated our mother and son harshly.

"Whether this is the pride of her clan daughter, or the bearing of the Hou Mansion's mother, her kindness to her father is to be recorded.

"It's the two stories you said, I said no, and your grandmother just let go of her hands, and there was no more entanglement. The grievances of the previous generation are not good for your father, but your grandmother is also a poor person.

"Therefore, what you said about 'playing prestige' and 'hindering people's future' is really unreasonable. And the anger towards the Jingzhong family is even more angry. Do you want to know that there are eggs under the nest?

"You are a girl from the Ding'an Hou Mansion, one is prosperous and one is lost. If you have anything bad, it will naturally affect the Hou Mansion. And if there is anything bad in the Hou Mansion, it will not hinder your future, or even your life.

Therefore, what your second cousin said when he came to find his father this time is not entirely unreasonable. And the father has indeed been too indulgent to you all these years. ”

"What did the second cousin say to my father?" Yan Tian became vigilant.

Yan Wenkuan looked at Yan Tian and didn't answer, and said after a while: "Although my son is a woman, her talent is not inferior to that of a man, and her mind is not inferior to that of her husband." But the world is harsh and unfair to women, so that a woman's reputation is ruined if she takes one wrong step. Even those strange women who serve the country and the people in the history books have mixed reputations......

"As a father, you don't have the heart to become a phoenix. I only hope that you can be free of illness and disaster, live a happy life, and in the future, your husband and wife will be harmonious, and your children and grandchildren will be full. ”

"Daddy......"

"It is indeed the father's fault that you will be sixteen years old, but you have not made a marriage contract for a long time. Do you remember your Tian family's cousin Tian Shuangquan? It's the younger brother of your grandmother, Tian, and the grandson of your uncle.

"Your grandmother had a brother and a brother, and that brother was your grandfather, and I married his daughter, my cousin, who was also your mother.

"And that younger brother, because he was young, was passed on to the Chi Harada clan in order to avoid following your maternal ancestor clan to the northern land, and because that branch was married early, although he was a young son, his descendants were two years older than you.

"Some time ago, I sent someone to Chi Yuan to visit the grave of your grandparents, and I happened to find him. According to the person who sent it, the child was born with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes, and now he has a reputation for showing off his talents. It's a pity that it's a hard life, the child's parents and your uncle and aunt have gone one after another two years ago, and now there are no relatives around, only farming and studying alone in Chi Yuan's hometown. But he is very motivated.

"I have also communicated with him several times before, and he is indeed a decent child, and he is also open-minded, and he took the initiative to say to his father that he wanted to have two rooms, and the second child you gave birth to was surnamed Yan.

Of course, the father doesn't care about this, he just wants to say that this child has a heart.

"My father doesn't want you to marry a big family. With your temper, you will suffer if you marry into such a family. It's better to find a descendant with a simple family and a gentle temper. In the future, you will be taken care of by your father, and you will not be able to stand any grievances.

"Therefore, I have now sent someone to Chi Yuan to pick up your cousin of the Tian family, thinking that he will be able to come to Luozhou before the year."

What? What! Yan Tian immediately thundered to the top, and was blown up by the "good news" thrown by her father for a while.

Why did this style of painting take a sharp turn for the worse? Wasn't it still a "loving father and daughter" just now? I was just about to tear up and regret my mistakes, and once again express my determination to respect my elders in the future. Why did the style of painting suddenly change dramatically and become a "resentful father forced to marry"?

Yes! Yes! Yes! She doesn't want to get married! She doesn't want her husband and children to be trapped in the back house!

Becoming a monk and traveling all over the world through cultivation, although it is not like words, but that is indeed what she has always thought!

Yan Tian, who had a strong smile on the surface, had chopped her second cousin to pieces in her heart at this time.

Yan Yu! You broom star! What did you tell my dad?!!
